In Memoriam: Otis Rush, and one of his best songs, "So Many Roads, So Many Trains"

We have lost another legend of the blues, with the passing of Otis Rush.  Otis was a singular stylist in the blues.  Much like Albert King or Eddie "Chief" Clearwater, he played left handed on a right handed guitar.  Here is one of his best known songs, to celebrate his memory.  "So Many Roads, So Many Trains".  A couple of versions will be featured.  One is from a live performance in Chicago, and the other is of Otis playing the tune along with John Mayall off of Mayall's "Room To Move" record.  Rest In Peace, Otis Rush.
